"Home" (Sam)

You know when you are going to miss a place when you begin to refer to it as home. It is a shame that we have to leave now, because we are just settling into our little nitch. Mom and Dad finally made friends, whom happen to have children we enjoy greatly. I have a fairly good command of Alsancak, so much so that momma actually lets me walk from one end to another :0 (that is most certainly necessary). I have actually begun to refer to our apartment as home instead of "the apartment" which i so endearingly referred to it as just after we moved in. And to think that we are leaving in less than 24 hours is simply a shame, and there is no way to describe how much I will miss Izmir.
